nice to post this in the Windows setion....
Hi all
In Snow Leopard System Preferences itself is a 64-bit application. You can still install and use many 32-bit preference panes. But whenever you access one of them, System Preferences will prompt you to quit it so it can relaunch in 32-bit mode. (Likewise, if you then want to access a 64-bit pane, System Preferences will need to quit and relaunch in 64-bit mode.). To avoid this many people are setting their System Preferences to launch in 32-bit mode by default. Setting your System Preference to launch in 32-bit mode will result in failure to launch the Pogoplug Preference Pane.
Here is how to check if your System Preference is set to launch as 32-bit mode.
1. Close the System Preference window.
2. Open the Finder
3. Go to 'Applications'
4. Select 'System Preferences' in the Finder, select File » Get Info (Command-I),
5. Locate a checkbox with the label 'Open in 32-bit mode'
6. If the checkbox is checked, that is a problem. Uncheck it, close the Window and relaunch the System Preferences window.

Hi all,
A new build that resolves this problem for users with a processor with 32-bit architecture is now ready for you to download. You can grab this from the following URL.
http://download.pogoplug.com/install/mac/pogopluginstall.pkg
Note that in order to open preferences with this build on a machine with 32-bit architecture, you must do one of the following things:
- Select "Open Pogoplug Preferences" from the Pogoplug icon on the upper right-hand side of the toolbar
- Open the Prefernce Pane manually at /Applications/Pogoplug/PreferencePane
For now, you cannot open the preference pane from System Preferences. That is something we are working to fix, and that will come at a later date, but there is no difference in operation between that preference pane and the one that installs with this build.
Please note that while this build will work for all users, it is specifically designed for users with processors with a 32-bit architecture. This means that if you have Core 2 Duo or later, you do not need to download this build. If you do have a Core 2 Duo or later and you run into this problem, you should follow the instructions posted in at the very top of this thread.
